How did you determine the actual manufacture date by the serial number? I used the Singer website to find out mine was made in 1952 but I would love to know her actual birthday. Thanks in advance!

I just scored one of these at an estate sale this morning for $50.00, works like a dream and has everything still with it. Thanks for the info.

I think it's a pretty machine, just well-loved :)

I just won a 15-91 in a case for $125 shipped. Appears that it was a sound decision. Looking forward to learning how to sew.

wound up with one of these when i purchased a sewing desk at a thrift shop for my wife. We were going to get rid of it and then learned online how nice they can be. Anxious to start restoring it to a good working condition to learn to sew on :)

hello, i have just picked up an unusual 15 series that i canot identify, it has a bird decal on the base but looks in many ways to be very similar to yours, i can find only one other example with a bird decal on the internet. also it seems it may be a 15-80, do you know when this particular machine was made.

proud owner of my first singer

thank you for your help

You may very well know this, but I use Singer sewing machine oil on the finish of my machines. I have a 201-2, a 66 and the 15-91. Of course, the oil won't restore the finish but does a great job of shining and cleaning without harming your decals at all!

In my 5+ years of restoring many different models of machines,the only SINGER machines that had 15 class bobbin are the model 15s & the 237s. The rest of the older models have the class 66 bobbin systems, or of course the drop-in touch & sew systems. I've checked my resources & there are only 5 vintage models that use the class 15 system: these are the 203, 215, 223, 237, and 238. There are 56 models that use the class 66 bobbin system. So NO, my statement is not "terribly false" it's very true.

@tonysmoke20

Is there anywhere I can look up the model of a singer sewing machine? Ive found pages that tell me the year but not the model. Y4571282

[paladinee]

@paladinee It looks like a 66 but I want to be sure and the dates dont coincide.

[KarenQuiltsTexas]

Your statement "most singers have a size 66 bobbin/hook is terribly false. The model 15's (in many permations) were made from the early 1900's until the 1960's....Millions of machines of both bobbin size were made throughout the 20th century!

If you're looking at this machine to buy... Get it! I own one and it's my favorite machine. It does everything. It's a beast, but tame also! The video doesn't lie! This machine is awesome! It really is! Thanks for the video!
